About TREBL
In a partnership between Sprint and Harman, TREBL was developed to provide new generation Magic
Box capabilities for Sprint with integrated harman/kardon premium audio and Alexa capabilities.
This section contains the following topics:
• Capabilities of the device
• Security features of TREBL
Capabilities of the device
TREBL has the following capabilities:
• Communicates visually through light display
• Simple installation
• Works with most smartphones and mobile hotspots
• Premium audio with built-in HK 16W speakers, Bluetooth enabled, and Amazon Alexa Voice
Assistant
• IP54 water-resistant device
• Boosts Sprint LTE data network signals
• VoLTE capable and 5G support
• LTE access with 1 sector omni B41 LTE access, 2 X 21dBm, 16 users LTE/ VoLTE
• UE Relay with 4T8R UE-Relay (B41 & B25) with omni antenna for easy install
• Optional Wi-Fi Backhaul feature with 2.4/5 GHz
• Plug and Play with Voice Guided Installation (VGI) sound support
• Easy to install Set Up Assistant app, which is a companion App for TREBL
Security features of TREBL
This section describes security measures that have been taken to secure your TREBL. It contains the
following topics:
• Private key
• eSIM
Page 9
TREBL User Guide
Get to know your TREBL
Document Issue 1.0
Page 9 of 57
Private key
Each device has a private key and associated certificate which is used to authenticate itself when
initiating communications.
This private key is generated in the factory, and so is the corresponding vendor certificate. This
capability is necessary to support large scale plug and play deployments.
This device key is stored on the Sprint TREBL to allow it to authenticate to the network. If the private key
is compromised, then the device can be masqueraded by an attacker towards the operator’s core
network. Therefore, it is stored in an encrypted form.
In later releases a device-specific key will be introduced, this is a random number blown into on-SoC
eFuses during manufacture. This offers two points of additional protection namely: the key is not
discoverable by decompiling the code (an attacker will need to run code on the device to read the
eFuses); and the key can only be used to obtain the private key of a single device (because each
encryption key is unique).
eSIM
The system provides an embedded SIM (eSIM) to the board instead of using a removable SIM. This
removes the temptation to steal the SIM. Additionally, the operator can ensure that these SIMs can only
be used with the Relay APN, which would make them unusable with an ordinary mobile phone (because
relay traffic uses nested GTP-U tunnels).

• Reminder to all the BWA system installers—Attention to Section 820-40 of the NEC which
provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall
be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as is
practical.

Federal Communication Commission Notice
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur
in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try
to correct the interference by one of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is
connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
FCC Caution: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user's authority to operate this equipment.
This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or
transmitter.
Operations in the 5.15-5.25GHz band are restricted to indoor usage only.
Proposition65 Warning Statement
This product can expose you to chemicals, including lead, which are known to the State of California to
cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. For more information go to
